In this article, I will review the new TOS (Terms of Service) and how Corel deals with the way it licenses the CorelDRAW suite of applications. This change that Corel has introduced and the way you install the program could cost you some extra money if you upgrade to this service pack or future versions of the software. This change relates to the terms of the CorelDRAW end user license agreement (EULA). So why am I breaking with tradition and reviewing what has been updated? Well, there are some new features that have been released with the service packs but there is also one very important change that was released with service pack 1 (X6.1) that we need to talk about. Instead, I usually wait for a new software release and then review the new features that have been “officially” added in the new release. In the past, I have not spent a lot of time relaying to you what has been upgraded in a new CorelDRAW service pack. Sometimes I upgrade CorelDRAW or other software updates and never really look at what has been changed or fixed within the service pack. I must admit, I can be guilty of clicking on the update button with little regard for what is being installed on my system. At the time of this writing, CorelDRAW had released four service packs since the initial release of version X6 in 2012.įor most of us, once we have upgraded, we never take the time to see exactly what was updated in the software. In fact, you might not even know the service pack exists unless your software notifies you. However, one other thing that you can be assured of is that there is very little fanfare with the release of a new “service pack,” which has updates, fixes and/or enhancements for existing software. If you think about the celebrations that Microsoft has thrown over the years when a new OS is released, you know what I mean. In the world of software, one thing that you can be assured of is that when a new software release comes out, there will be a lot of fanfare that goes along with that release.
